Plain-English Summary
Granting injunctive relief does not have to come free of conditions. Rule 4:52-3 lets the court require the party who obtained a temporary restraining order or interlocutory injunction to post security, or lets the court impose any other equitable term it considers appropriate.
That authority is not limited to the moment the injunction issues — the court may impose or adjust these conditions at any point afterward as well.
